And kerneltrap.org needs a new forum topic ;)

dhclient does not restart after reboot

Hello,

I have a nagging problem that has plauged my openbsd systems for YEARS.

Picture this, openbsd firewall three interfaces. xl0 is the outside interface which is connected to an business class road runner cable modem connection.

I can do dhclient xl0 at the console and grab an lease just fine from the cable modem. NOW, if I reboot the machine it will not get an lease. I have to manually do it from the console. The firewall/router machine is 3.9 at the moment but I have had this problem ever since 2.7. It isn't THAT big of a deal since the machine rarely needs rebooting but it sure can be annoying when there is a power outtage for instance.

Hey,

I am trying to update to sendmail 8.13.8 on OpenBSD3.6. I have also tried sendmail 8.13.6, however I am getting the following error. Is there anyway around this, without having to upgrade to the latest version of OpenBSD?

../../sendmail/sendmail.h:96: netiso/iso.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

thanks

Help in Setting up "Open-ended" VPN connections

Hello Folks,

I'm able to set up a VPN connection between two networks when I know my peer VPN gateway address. I need to set up our VPN gateway in such a way that our staff can access our internal network from any where in the world. What this means is that we don't know the IP address that they will be connecting from, but they know our VPN gateway's IP address. I tried setting up our isakmpd.conf in a similar manner, except that I put 0.0.0.0/0 for the peer gateway, but then isakmpd complains that it can't create a connection to the IP address 0.0.0.0. I've tried googling and searching on the 'Net for such a config, but I can't seem to find any. Could you help me out or point me in the right direction.

"We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 3.9. This is our 19th release on CD-ROM (and 18th via FTP).

The theme song for the upcoming OpenBSD release is titled "Blob!", a cautionary tale about the growing prevalence of binary blobs among open source operating systems and where this might lead [story].
